look up the "window.opener" method (works in NS3+, IE3+) Basically, you can send info to a form field on the opener page (if you name each piece accordingly) like this:
opener.document.form.formfield.value = this.value; HTH, IGOR ILYINSKY CREDIT|FIRST SUISSE|BOSTON GLOBAL WEB SERVICES -----Original Message----- From: Ben Doom [mailto:bdoom@;moonbow.com] Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 10:11 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: Javascript across windows Does anyone know how to pass information between browser windows using Javascript (or anything else for that matter). Specifically, I'm using javascript to open a second browser window for a user to fill out a small form which needs to return the results to the creating browser window. The second browser window needs (unless someone has a better idea) to either be able to trigger a function or access form elements in the DOM to write the information. I'd happily post code if people want to see it, but since it doesn't seem to work at all, I didn't think it necessary. :-) All help is appreciated. --Ben Doom Programmer & General Lackey Moonbow Software ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm
